Kids' 574 Sneaker

Love these shoes! I got them in wide and extra wide plus a half size (which isn’t common for other brands to even offer). Both fit my little ones wide and high instep foot perfectly. Other shoes I had to go a size or half a size bigger to try to even get his feet in them, not these! I was able to actually go true to side which was a half size. I like that there are a variety of colors. Just wished there was an all navy shoe without red or any other color on it (except white). I also wish there was a high top shoe for ankle support for beginner walkers with wide feet. My little one seems to enjoy walking around in them as he is trying to learn to walk on his own.

These are my son’s favorite shoes! We’ve purchased them in better colors before (blue and teal), but those have become harder and harder to find. We recently bought this pair in gray—not my first color choice—and noticed they’re a bit different from our previous pairs. The velcro strap now has closures on both the outer and inner sides of the foot. It’s not a big deal, but the extra velcro on the inside isn’t very helpful (hope you see this, New Balance!). That said, these shoes are fantastic for chubby feet. They have a wide toe box and minimal sole, which gives them a barefoot feel—just enough cushion without being stiff or unbendy. We’ll definitely keep buying them! Please bring back more fun colors
